Vegetable Growing By Pippa Greenwood here is something lovely about this time of year: even on the less appealing days it rarely gets too chilly, the soil is warm and feels all the more full of potential. But there is no doubt that your vegetable growing may seem to be close to peaking and perhaps in some areas on the decline. Rather than forgetting the fun of growing your own until next year, why not add to what you already have and start some crops from fresh? If you’ve missed the boat totally and never actually planted anything this year, there’s still time to grow some tasty home grown vegetable and herbs....it’s not too late to start, but you’ll have to get your skates on. Knowing what responds best to late sowing is the key, and knowing what might be worth the risk has the potential to be the icing on the cake. If you enjoy miniature beetroot or baby beet as they’re often known, then buy a packet of beetroot seed and sow some of them promptly for a delicious, crop of small-sized beetroot from the autumn until Christmas.

Studio One

French beans are so much better when grown at home. It is hard to make them tough or tasteless. A speedy sowing now should produce plenty of beans that you can harvest in mid-autumn. Choose a variety such as ‘Tendergreen’ and it should perform well. Spring onions make really tasty additions to salads, ploughman’s lunches and stir-fries. They grow rapidly and although it is getting late, a prompt sowing now should still give you a crop of tiny spring onions in October. Sow enough to leave some in the soil where you can then harvest full-sized versions in March. Rocket with its spicy dark green leaves makes a great ingredient for salads and because the plants grow so fast, a sowing made now will soon be producing a brilliant crop. Make successional sowings every couple of weeks. There...almost too much to eat!

Beauty Treatments Summer’s Here!

re the feet silky smooth when we slip them into the flip-flops? Don’t worry a pedicure at Jennifer’s will have you walking on air. This extremely relaxing treatment includes the removal of hard skin, cuticles tidied and the toe nails trimmed and shaped. This is followed by a wonderful massage of the lower legs and feet, this stimulates blood and lymphatic flow, keeping the feet hydrat ed, nourished, soft and smooth. Now you have healthy, happy feet show them off with a bright summer nail polish or Gel polish. What is Gel Polish? This evolution in technology protects the natural nail, offering weak, bitten or problem nails the opportunity to grow.

A manicure that lasts 2 weeks, sounds too good to be true? Not any more. Geleration gives you strong, high gloss nails without chips or flakes for 2 weeks. And there is one more advantage to Gel nails – they dry instantly. Wow! Finish off your summer look with a beautiful spray tan at Jennifer’s. The new generation of spray tans will give you a beautiful sun-kissed glow without the damage from the sun.

Call Jennifer on 01333 311600 for an appointment or advice.

Travel Hidden France

n the foots teps of Robert Louis Stevens on. In 1870, aged jus t 19, Scottis h writer R.L. Stevenson set off with a donkey through the rural heartlands of south-central France, from the Upper Loire to the Cévennes . Man and beas t covered 220 km, he to nurse a broken heart, she, the c antankerous Modestine, to carr y the bags. Today, many follow in their footsteps, with or without donkey, browsing a copy of Stevenson’s ’Travels with a D onkey in the C évennes’ as they tac kle the whole trail in 12 days or just a s horter section. The main part of the trail crosses the Lozèr e, the l east populated Frenc h county wher e they s ay you c an s ee the Milky Way cl earer than anywher e else. Here any village over 1000 peopl e becomes a ‘town’, gathered around a ‘storm s pire’ where bells woul d ring in bad weather to guide wanderers to s afety. Many seem caught in a ti me warp, preser ving their old was h-house, communal br ead oven or wayside shrines. For nature lovers, the Stevens on trail is a real haven, fr om meadows and fores ts, all waterfalls and babbling streams , to limestone plateaux, high pastures and moors strewn with heather and

golden broom. After the damp misty days on the early part of his trek, Stevenson had finall y arri ved in the South of Franc e. Her e a warm breez e rustles through the trees, hamlets nestle on the steep slopes and cows with tinkling bells graze in l ush pastures among dramatic boulders. In this land of shale and chestnut, the mountain path heads down to Pont de Montvert, an idyllic village tuc ked in the cus p of the hills. The H uguenot upheavals are still remembered here but every trekker on the Stevenson trail heads straight for the Auberge des Cévennes on the banks of the river Tarn. U p on the wall hangs the portrait of Clarisse who waited at the young man’s tabl e, the first pretty girl he had met sinc e day one, ‘her grey eyes steeped in amorous l anguor.’ What happened then, no one knows for s ure but as today’s ramblers continue to St Jean du Gard, there is tal k of romance and a donkey patiently nibbling on marigolds.
